SnowDrifter Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 No matter what you think: fuse every single connection. Fuses are cheaper than cars I just now had the misforutune of having the leads to my volt meter ground out and fill the car with smoke. Just because I forgot to fuse a single wire... Fortunately, I was able to rip the wire out of the amp before the car burned down. No issues except for my needing a new change of underwear. Learn from my mistake: think through every connection and fuse! Because the one you forget will be the one that gives you problems.

I had that happen once to a tiny tiny wire. Scared the crap out of me. X2 Fuse Everything! Glad you caught it in time. Yeah, it was SO scary. And I had just gotten everything installed a few hours prior to top it all off. And the car is only a few weeks old (for me) Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
